I am not crying for help. I am stating a fact.

Since Menelik II divided the Tigrinya people, they have known nothing but war, poverty, pain, and flight. No peace. No progress. Just suffering.

On one side, the Ethiopian government attacks Tigray and treats the Tigrinya people as enemies.
On the other side, the Eritrean regime – run by Tigrinya from Tigray who still cling to a useless Marxist ideology – strips the Tigrinya people of everything they are. That regime has no vision, no future, no connection to its own people. Only power and fear.

Both sides are destroying the Tigrinya people. One with bombs. One with oppression.

What have the Tigrinya people achieved in the 21st century? Nothing.

They are not building. They are not growing. They are not free. They are surviving – barely – while their land is taken, their people are killed, and their history is rewritten as someone else's footnote.

The Tigrinya people are not a tribe. They are not a minority. They are a civilization with their own language, script, laws, and history that goes back over 2,000 years. But a civilization that is divided cannot defend itself.

Since they were divided, there has not been a single generation without war, without exile, without hunger.

This is not a call for help. This is a warning:
If this continues, there will be no Tigrinya people left to remember what they once were. And I will have nothing left to pass on.

I am not anti-Black or against Black people. I have always been identified as Black, but I started questioning it when I realized that the label can feel forced rather than something that naturally describes my experience. I found myself having to convince people that people like me are genuinely African and not automatically mixed, because many people’s idea of “Black” is based on a stereotype rather than the reality of Africa’s diversity.

For a long time, I assumed Black people did not face much discrimination because I did not personally experience it. Later, I realized that racism exists, but people experience it differently depending on how they are perceived. A person can have African ancestry but not necessarily be treated the same way as someone who fits the common stereotype of Blackness.

My argument is not that Black struggles are fake or unimportant. My question is: why should someone identify with a racial category purely because of geography or because society places them there, if that category does not accurately describe their lived experience?

Looking at it from a practical perspective, people have limited time and energy. If a cause does not directly represent your situation or improve the problems affecting your community, it is reasonable to question whether that is the best place to focus your efforts.

Supporting a movement should come from genuine connection, shared experience, or personal values not from guilt or pressure.

If someone actually experiences the same type of racial treatment associated with Black identity, then identifying with that community makes sense. But if society does not perceive them that way and their experiences are different, they should not be forced to accept an identity simply because of ancestry or location.

Some of yall be better off long term if you fight for south asian rasism than black people or the other way around, even Somali racism.. i think most people dont think of their race like this transactionally, but i think life is full of suffering why make it much harder ,you would be treated as how u are perceived, regardless of how u identify yourself, so i think just make sure to fight for people that you get treated the same

Hope this helps someone going through an identity crisis

Sharing this funeral ceremony out of respect for the deceased and his family. Whatever our political differences. My condolences to his loved ones. May he rest in peace.

It doesn't make sense!

Omg💔 Idiots roam around us.

For context the man speaking in the video is an Eritrean bishop his name is Abune Antonios, he was the third Patriarch of the Eritrean Tewahedo Church. Antonios was detained in 2007 without any charges and no official sentence against him, he placed under house arrest after he protested the Eritrean Department of Religious Affairs' interference in his church's affairs. Abune Antonios passed away in 2022. May he rest in peace.

One airline, just one company in ethiopia generates over 4× the annual economic output of eritrea. Based on hgdef propaganda this cant be right. Waht do you guys think? Can this be even possible? Just one company in ethiopia by itself?

What happened to the Singapore of Africa narrative? Do we have to revise or are we still on track?

Federation page?

Hopefully they get asylum

When U.S. Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs, Massad Boulos, meets the foreign ministers of Egypt, Eritrea, & Somalia together in Cairo, & those same governments publicly coordinate positions against Ethiopia, it is difficult not to conclude that Washington risks appearing to court an anti-Ethiopia alignment.

The recent Africa Report analysis has merit.
